    A lovely show

    Loved this show as a kid. Always helped me with math and stuff like that. But the reason I came here is to notice 3 and 4's friendship ain't really friendly. Also the puzzler and numbertaker be lookin hella fresh :O

    Loved bykids, less so adults - strange villains too

    The good points are my daughter loves it and it does provide rudimentary lessons in maths and allied subjects. It's not the most polished production, but appears to entertain well, although would seem a bit repetitive (just watch the hour long marathons on the programmes official YouTube channel!) Younger viewers may be put off by some of the enemies in the show, the two that are the most unusual are the Number Taker, who dresses like an Albino Mad Hatter, but has the menace (albeit silent) of the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; and the Puzzler, who is a CGI floating bald bearded head with glasses who sounds & looks like what you may imagine an internet groomer to look like and has a laugh that is a bang on impression of Sid James from the 'Carry On' films! Honourable mentions to the Problem Blob, who spews 'Kids TV gameshow green goo' everywhere and to see has to regurgitate his eye on a stalk through his mouth; Spooky Spoon, who is a Margo Leadbetter style posh talking, well, spoon..; and the Shape Japer, which is an even more basic CGI cobe/sphere (alternating) with sharp teeth and evil eyes!

    SOOOOO GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!

    Number Jacks is the best thing in the entire universe. Don't listen to the other reviews they were payed by the makers of Yo Gabba Gabba to make fun of Numberjacks. It teaches you everything you will ever need to know and if you hate this show you must be possessed by demons to hate such a godly creation. The intense plot and character development makes this comparable to the Lord of the Rings. There are many epic and original villains that really make the plot even better. This is a very old franchise but still holds up to this day. The music is astounding and is better than most music today. One of the best parts about numberjacks is that its educational. I would recommend not going to college and replacing it with numberjacks because you learn more and save money at the same time.

    This Is The Worst Thing in the history of anything ever!

    cheese fest with mind-numbing sound effects and laughably bad CG and acting creepy villains by far the best thing i have ever seen the villains include a pink talking spoon that steals cutlery that is apparently 'spooky,' a blob that shoots slime called the problem blob, a floating head that captures people in orange bubbles made from his own bodily fluids until they can solve a puzzle called the puzzler, a psychopathic man that kidnaps numbers and keeps them in a vacuum cleaner for all eternity named the number taker and last but not least the illiterate shape changing ball called the shape Japer. oh did i mention the buddy blocks, blocks that are the buddies of the numbers... or children... or parasites... or maybe souls... how the hell should i know

    One of the Best Kids Shows Ever

    Numberjacks showcases how much effort can be put into a kids show. It is consistently entertaining with amazing villains (the Numbertaker scared me as a child) and protagonists with some pretty good traits. I loved it as a small child and it is still great as a teenager.

    There is a bunch of weird stuff but kids won't really notice and it makes interesting viewing otherwise.

    Educationally, Numberjacks does a pretty good job of teaching kids maths concepts and logic while keeping them engaged. These things being the solution to the problems the Numberjacks are facing is great way to prove these are useful and promote problem solving. Overall, this one of (if not the) best kids show I have seen.

      The Number Taker developed his character even further and went on to play a White Walker in the Game of Thrones. Perhaps George R R Martin was inspired by the Number Taker.
